Description
We were barely a kilometer from our lodgings in Porto Jimenez Costa Rica and heading to Corcovado National Park when we ran across some scarlet macaws squawking and eating high up in the trees. The scarlet macaw (Ara macao) is a large red, yellow, and blue South American parrot. It is about 81 centimetres (32 in) long, of which more than half is the pointed, graduated tail. The average weight is about 1 kilogram (2.2 lb). The plumage is mostly scarlet, but the rump and tail-covert feathers are light blue, the greater upper wing coverts are yellow, the upper sides of the flight feathers of the wings are dark blue as are the ends of the tail feathers, and the undersides of the wing and tail flight feathers are dark red with metallic gold iridescence. Some individuals may have green in the wings. There is bare white skin around the eye and from there to the bill. Scarlet macaws make very loud, throaty squawks, squeaks and screams designed to carry many miles to call for their groups. So you often hear them long before you see them! The scarlet macaw can live up to 75 years in captivity, although a more typical lifespan is 40 to 50 years.
